JOHANNESBURG — Elon Musk's father, Errol, said President Cyril Ramaphosa asked him to reach out to his son for an endorsement before the 2024 General Election. South Africans did not believe him.
What did Errol say?
Errol spoke on the SMWX podcast hosted by Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh, which he recently shared. Musk said that Ramaphosa's request came during the African National Congress's (ANC) build-up to the 2024 General Election. The ANC lost its majority for the first time in three decades. This prompted them to form a Government of National Unity.
